HAPPY AS A QUEEN.
DEAR TEIBuNE AND c. c. FRIENDS: have just
read IN the paper Of Feb. the account of Joe r.
Dyer's death, and was very much surprised and
grieved by IT, for II hardly seemed possible that the
ranks of the c. Cs would ever be thinned. was
pleased 10 find that few of the G. &. members con
sidered my former letter worth their notice. j
agree with MiehigHnder and enjoy reading the
deep thoughts of SHAKESPEARE" ! would like 10
make the request that he dd-please do not
get tle idea thai am dry and prosy," for as
sure you ] am as lively any one you find.
" i am sweet III and happy as queen" enjoyed
Tennessee Boys letter very much. Whittier ia
also of my favorite poets, but do not think
find such beautiful IDEAS and given in such
asweet aud musical style, m his poems as we can
la those OF Longfellow. Mhittcr's la War Time {"
and Voices OF Freedom y are the best poems that
were ever written ON those subjects, think, and
show his true patriotic spirit Longfellow said Of
him, He speaks only when his soul Is stirred
aud his most popular poems are those that were
written when his soul was filed with enthusiasm.
But the poems that please me most, are those sim
pile stanzas of Longfellow's that gushed from his
heart, and were composed chiefly while he
sitting alone aud letting his thoughts lead him
wherever they would" Resignation" Foot
steps Of Angels, /" The Day is Done, and others
of the same class. Whittier's Home Ballads"
and Legends Of New England" are very pretty
and extremely interesting, but they do not seem 10
have the same effect upon their readers the lit
tie poems OF Longtellow. Whenever have the
blues can generally drive them away by spend
ing few minutes IN reading one Of them. Let
hear from you again, Tennessee Boy.-The Hoosier
School Girl.
GREEN-MoUNTAIN GIRL
FRIENDS or THE c. c.: viii you admit Green
Mountain Girl into your delightful Club? have
read with interest your letters especially those
about tiic Western scenery, but have felt sorry 10
so little about our Eastern scenery. Now we
have not te broad, rolling prairie OF the West bat
some grand old mountains instead aud when seen
IN October they remind YOU of huge boauets with
their bright c0lors of red. yellow and brown with
here aud there elump of evergreens.
ID is delightful on pleasant day in Autumn TO
rambe through the woods and listen TO babling
brooks, and ~ YOU stroll along gather the brightest
ana best Of tle falling leaves 10 carry home and
press for Winter use
The grand old mountains are handsome. too. in
Winter. when the sun sinks down toward the
Western horizon and throws lite reflection back on
tint
Yes, you Of the West may have your prairies and
plains but give me the forest-oovered mountains
aud the pleasant valleys of Vermont. Long live
